Notre Dame College art and non-art majors show their creative sides—from a 6-foot tall life-like sculpture made of machine parts to a red paint-splattered American flag with white hand prints instead of stars—in the 2017 All-Student Art Show.

The exhibit, featuring nearly 50 works of original art by Notre Dame students, commences with an opening reception from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, March 30, in the Performing Arts Center gallery of the Administration Building on the College campus.

The reception and admission to the exhibit are free and open to the public. The show runs through Thursday, April 27.

Also at the opening reception, prizes for first through third place, honorable mentions and the Art Club Award will be presented. The show is sponsored by the College’s Art Club.

Works of art in the show represent various media, ranging from pencil sketches and charcoal drawings to paper sculptures and handmade books, as well as photographs, pottery and graphic design, among others.

Student artists’ majors include art but also biology, communication and more.

The tall, robotic-looking metal sculpture, which appears to be holding a baseball bat, is by Tim Perry, a part-time student who works with the College’s facilities department. He calls the piece T-50.

The gallery is open from noon-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, contact Rachel Morris, associate professor of fine arts, by email at rmorris@ndc.edu or phone at 216.373.5320.
